Injury impact: Not only is Weeden out, but backup Colt McCoy is as well. So your Week 17 Browns QB is ... third-year journeyman Thad Lewis. There's speculation Wallace has played his last game as a Steeler.

Fantasy tip: With Trent Richardson out, Montario Hardesty will start at tailback for Cleveland. He's in line for a ton of touches, although the matchup is far from favorable.

Lev's look: Expect the prideful Steelers to take out their frustrations on the banged-up Browns. Although he hasn't been in top form, I can't imagine Ben Roethlisberger closing this season with four consecutive losses.

Injury impact: Dennis Allen made the "Why not?" choice and tapped Terrelle Pryor to start over Matt Leinart. Pryor has the athletic ability to be a real dual threat, if not the know-how.

Fantasy tip: Coming off an 11-sack performance – and again facing a first-time starting QB – the San Diego defense is a must-start this week.

Lev's look: Pryor is a real wild card. Expect more mistakes than big plays. The Chargers also are unpredictable, especially at home. They at least should play with effort for Norv Turner in what undoubtedly will be his final game.
